Carlos Ulberg captured the UFC light heavyweight title with a stunning knockout over Jiri Prochazka in the UFC 327 main event. What made it so remarkable was the fact that Ulberg was badly injured, leaving him with just one working leg to compete on, and now that calls into question where the division goes if Ulberg is sidelined for a significant period of time? Where do the UFC 327 headliners go from Saturday night?
On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fightingâs Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss whatâs next for Ulberg after his title win, and injury in the main event, and where Prochazka goes after falling short in his bid to become a two-time champion.
